Show Spelled [hom-uh-nid]
Show IPA noun Anthropology .
ə
any of the modern or extinct bipedal primates of the family
Hominidae, including all species of the genera Homo and Australopithecus.
A well known and
respected contemporary preacher, academic, and writer wrote the following.
“proposal: that just as God chose Israel from the rest of
humankind for a special, strange, demanding vocation, so perhaps what Genesis
is telling us is that God chose one pair from the rest of early hominids for a
special, strange, demanding vocation. This pair (call them Adam and Eve if you
like) were to be the representatives of the whole human race, the ones in whom
God’s purpose to make the whole world a place of delight and joy and order,
eventually colonizing the whole creation, was to be taken forward.”
What are your
thoughts on this writer’s statement?
I’ll publish your
responses as a DT next week.
